According to him, the newly-appointed CPs include Peter Opara, Osun; Olughemiga Adesina, Benue; Akinwale Adeniran, Ekiti; Mohammed Abba, Adamawa; Beneath Igwe, FCT, and Abaniwonda Olufemi, Delta.

Arase while pledging the commitment of the commission to continue to encourage the CPs, warned that the security of lives and properties in their areas of jurisdiction should not be taken for granted.
